I've had a thread up in the Holidays & Travel forum but had suggestions to post in here also to get some local opinion & review.

Never even been to Scotland. So I am planning a long weekend to Edinburgh just me and Mrs Badger.

Accommodation is now sorted.

I've just booked the TigerLilly in the Mini Georgian Suite. (I've chosen this over The George)

I booked it direct and got them to match the best Expedia/Booking.com/Trivago price I had and then added breakfasts separate - Saved me about £150 on the price that Expedia had for the same room incl. breakfast.

I am tempted to upgrade to The Black Suite for another £157 though......

Will be getting the train up to Edinburgh, so any out of city driving excursions are out. As a first time visitor I will have more than enough time to really enjoy the city and its sights during my 5 night stay.

In reality, we wont be there until 14:00 on day one, and will be leaving just after lunch on day six.

Food wise is the next challenge, really looking for recommendations as to where to eat.

Will be going on the train as parking looks too expensive!

Opinions sought and welcomed... Thanks.

Comedy club is a great idea.
